Re: Rishtas from pakistan?
I got married to a guy from Paki, but the only reason I even considered it was because my family/extended family have known them since forever. I myself held similar views as you...ie. i was afraid people from aack home only want a visa/immigaration etc....total fobs..backwards thinking. However when my hubby's rishtha was in the process, my mind changed. He is well educated, very open minded, good looking, and holds views that I agree with. We did get to meet and talk...plus i have hung out with him on occasion with family as I used to visit paki often, so I considered him and left it up to my parents. I trusted them to make a good decision. But it all depends on the individual & the personality and how you click/gel with him/her. There are people in the west that are more paindu in their thinking than the most backward paindu from pakistan and also people there in paki who you would never know were reaised in Pak.
